Westbrook's Meltdown

[Manufan909]

Gotdamn, that was pathetic.

[KaiRMD1]

We can officially put him on the all punk b*tchass team that no one wants to play with.

C Bynum
PF Cousins
SF Beasley
SG Bryant
PG Westbrook

What about Garnett?

[TJastal]

throwing a fit, storming into the locker room, and borderline crying during the interview is controlling it like a man

calling craig sager "bruh"

[Drachen]

He was still someone we had to expend a lot of energy on. He wasn't great, but he didn't get completely bailed out. The Spurs still had to concentrate on him defensively.

Harden beat us. Plain and simple. Harden went 2005 manu on us. That is all there is to it.

And check out his outfit (w/ purse) before last game..

...and now modeling a stunning number from the Richard Jefferson Collection...

Hes waiting to come off the bench.

No doubt, but he didn't have the ball in his hands at the key moments. That was all Harden.

Look at the Coach Nick breakdown of Game 5. Westbrook hits one big shot with a hand in his face, but he shows a couple of bad turnovers, especially stepping in to the back court. What happens when Harden gets the ball? Nobody gives him anything in terms of a screen so he has to take a dribble pull up 3 and kills us. If that shot misses, we probably win the game

[dbreiden83080]

Did anyone watch the OKC game tonight? Westbrook threw a temper-tantrum after an on-court dispute with Thabo Sefalosha and eventually just left the game on his own and went back to the locker room to "blow off some steam." Then, after the game, he was interviewed by Craig Sager and was obviously still in a pissy mood. Somebody get this guy a pacifier. He's quickly becoming my least favorite player in the league.

What an immature jack ass... "I controlled my temper like a man"... Having a hissy fit on the bench and then running off to the locker room is being a man.. Interesting...

[dbreiden83080]

He's going the way of the t-wolves Marbury/Garnett. He wants to be the star of the team.
Just wait until he gets into Durant's face instead of Sefolosa's.

He'll be shipped quicker than.........
I'll let you all finish it.

He will never be comfortable being the Scottie Pippen of this squad that is for sure..

Moral of the story, don't let SJax play in that series.

[Richie]

Yeah, the role players really the bed. Theres another breakdown that slaughters Neals decision making, he's pulling up for horrible shots. But then, we all know he'll do that with the ball in his hands.

Sorry, yes, I should have mentioned that too.

Another interesting break down about how we targeted Westbrook in the first couple games



The Thunder solved this by putting Sefelosha on Parker, but now they don't have Harden to guard Manu. If they do it again, Ginobili should have his way with Kevin Martin

plays like a chimp, gets mad like a chimp

problem is whether Ginobili will be ready (healthy, in game shape, in sync, and in rhythm) he MIGHTVE played 5 of those 100% games so far this season.

I think this places more emphasis on Kawhi to be able to step up and become the man if Ginobili is unable to hold form for 6 straight games.

Kawhi isn't that player, and if we rely on him to carry us against OKC it will be all over. No doubt Duncan will play a big role, as will Splitter and Parker, but I feel the match up where we have a clear advantage is Manu vs Martin. We didn't have that advantage last year.

Ideally we will only need Manu to take advantage in the first couple of games which will force Brooks to put Sefelosha on him and Westbrook back on to Parker where he can (hopefully) take advantage.

Exactly I am not sure we can rely on Manu to score 20+ a game any more in the playoffs.

i dont disagree with you. Kawhi isnt that guy; In THIS system. and its why i dont think we're favorites.
